The best hostal in Oaxaca, and one of the best hostels I ever been before. The host (I forgot her name because it was few years ago...) it is a very polite lady, that makes everything for you feel yourself confortable like at your own home. They have a amazing breakfast, totally mexican style, and a nice swimming pool. It is located on the mountain, a little bit further from downtown, however it is totally worth it because this guarantee to you a wonderful view from the city of Oaxaca. I was so lucky because I didn't knew, but when I arrived the city was having La Guelaguetza. An annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that takes place in the city of Oaxaca, capital of the state of Oaxaca, and nearby villages. The celebration features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as Pre-Hispanic-style textiles. Each costume, or traje, and dance usually has a local indigenous historical and cultural meaning. When I come back to Mexico, and for sure I will, that's going to be my first stop.
